Love Yourself
In the era of 24-hour media scrutiny and social media doom scrolling presenting us with images of unrealistic bodies, minds, and bank accounts, we’re expected to be emotionally tender and empathetic while also being a business savage to go to bed at 9 pm, wake up at 2 am, burn, grind, hustle, lift this weight, lift that weight, be chiseled out of granite, somehow be disciplined and spontaneous, make compelling content, be gut-bustingly funny and also sincere, lead but never follow, meditate in waterfalls, travel travel travel all the time, invest invest invest and be a billionaire before you’re 12, influence, change the paradigm, think outside the box, realize there is no box, be high speed and low drag, be sexy sexy sexy all the time…Love yourself.
Read all the things, find salvation within, eat clean, treat yourself, respect authority, damn the man, clothes make the man but don’t judge a book by its cover, get mad, stay calm, advertise on your website, click here for more, two heads are better than one but paddle your own canoe, do unto others as you would have them do to you but nice guys finish last, fuck you I won’t do what you tell me, listen to advice, follow up, get ahead, do what you love and love what you do, find time, make time, be on time, time waits for no man, take your time, better late than never, fuck like Dionysus, think like Marcus Aurelius, be fearless, be humble, do it yourself, rely on others, dress like GQ subsidizes your wardrobe, give no fucks, give all the fucks, raise a family, disrupt, be here now, and and and…Let me be who I am and let me kick out the jams and…
Love yourself.
Love yourself.
